Fawkes & Reece broadens UK coverage

Fawkes & Reece, the southern England-based construction, civil engineering and built-environment recruiter, has expanded its recruitment coverage in the UK with the acquisition of Bromak Ltd. 

Based in Bolton, Bromak provides permanent and freelance candidates to the house building and construction sectors across the Midlands and the North of England. With a team of more than 30 staff, Bromak has four offices in Bolton, Sheffield, Tamworth and Colchester.

The acquisition will increase Fawkes & Reece’s headcount to more than 110 staff and six offices around the UK, as well as a project turnover to more than £50m. The company’s coverage will focus on executive search, both white and blue collar, within house building, construction, interior fit-out and the civil engineering sectors. 

“We know this move will add significant value to all parties and link perfectly with our London and southern teams,” said Ray Connolly, group managing director of Fawkes & Reece.

Bromak’s Cameron Berry and Chelsey Nuttall will stay with the business as managing director and sales director, Connolly said.

Bromak founder and managing director Dave Brooks said that the acquisition would “take Bromak in the right direction… it was clear this move will take our business further”.
